The Forum Games Sheepish Advent Calendar 2020!

OK, 10 yesterday and 9.9 today - I'll take that!

It seems that no matter what I score, I can't shift myself up the table more than two places at a time though Still need until about mid-January to actually compete (and that's not counting any further major clangers in the meantime, and I'm sure I'll manage one or two at least )

Sympathies to the massive minus scorers, I feel your pain

looksee

I got a 10! But I had done a very quick and not very scientific bit of googling and got the impression that the number was higher than that.

Edit, had another look and maybe I should have actually read the articles...

I was about to say 'Kolido's score in the table is wrong, sure he answered the question'

Then I looked at his answer- he was as well skipping

His score is actually -0.006! So skipping would have been slightly better. He really needs to thanks the two higher guesses

I'm sorry to have missed today! I was rushing around all morning to have everything done in time for the match, and then got distracted by Limerick winning the All Ireland!!
Anyway I was going to go with 50 which seems to have been WAY off! I'll try to be a better elf in future!

To be fair, I'll accept that's almost as important as the Forum Games Advent Calendar

Wait, the rest of you have strategies?

No wonder I'm doing so badly, just been winging it and diving in head first.

I'm afraid the purple tin beat you by four whole minutes

Assuming BuileBeag's 3am answer of "fecking stollen cake" doesn't really count

Looking for a room in an inn to hide in.

Can't find one anywhere. Onto the next Bethlehem I go.
